Israel-Hamas war: “There are only four medical staff left caring for patients”, the Nasser hospital in Khan Younes in Gaza “completely out of service”

“There are only four medical staff left caring for patients” at Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza Strip town of Khan Yunis, spokesman Ashraf al- Qidra to Reuters. “The Nasser Medical Complex is the backbone of health care in the southern Gaza Strip. Its shutdown is a death sentence for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians in Khan Yunis and Rafah,” he said. he adds.

The lack of fuel and the fighting around the hospital are responsible for this out of service, according to the spokesperson. Israeli forces raided the hospital on Thursday and arrested around 100 people.
